if/d 22216 115 542 flab/25 lm messes To all whom-it may concern:

Be it known that I, MANUEL F. SALMINI, a citizen of the United States,residing at Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey,have invented new and useful Improvements in Hangers, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The invention relates to hangers, 'and more particularly to the class ofpipe hangers.

.The primary object of the invention is the provision of a hanger ofthis character in which pipes or the like may be suspended,- spaced froma ceiling or .wall,.thus permitting the easy facing or painting of thesame and also to obviate the corrosion of the pipe or the like.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a hangerin whicheach pipe section may be readily'and quickly mounted in and detachedfrom the hanger Without disturbing other pipe sections of a main, or

a conduit from the hanger, without disturbing the other sectionsthereof, thereby enabling the pipe sections to be conveniently repairedor cleaned, as the occasion may require.

A further object of the invent-ion is the provision of ahan er in whichthe shank is detachable from t ev hinged split ring, so that the shankmay be fastened in a fixed support, whereby the hanger can be readilyand quickly mounted for use for the suspension of such pipe sections orthe like.

i A still further object of the invention is the provision of. a hangerwhich is simple of construction, durable, thoroughly reliable andefficient in operation, and inexpensive in manufacture.

lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists oftheconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will behereinafter more full 1 described, illustrated in the accompanymgdrawings, and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a vertical section taken through a pipe andportion of a wall, with the hanger mounted therein and supporting thepipe constructed in accord .ance with the invention. Fig. 2 is asideelevation of a short portionof pipe showing the hanger supporting thesame. Fig. 3 1s perspective. view of the shank of the hanger detached.Fig. 4"is a sectionalview on the line 44 of Fig. 1.

' Specification. of Letters Patent Patented Appl cation filed December,17, 1910. Serial in. 597,842. 1

formed Similar reference characters indicate corresponding partsthroughout flthe severalv views of the drawings.

' Referring to the drawings by numerals, 2

designates a portion of a Wall, into which is driven or otherwisemounted the hanger constructed in accordance with theinvention, as willbe hereinafter more fully, described.

. The hanger comprises a split ring 3 of oppositely disposed arcuateshaped sections 4 and 5, the latter being hinged by means of a. pivot 6to the section 4, so that the said section 5 may be swung from open toclosed position, or vice versa.

The sect-ion 4 is provided with spaced outturned .ears 7 between whichisinserted a threaded bolt extension 8 carried by the section 5 at oneend thereof, and this threaded bolt extension carries an adjustablewinged nut 9 adapted to engage the ears 7 whereby the sections 4 and '5may be clamped securely about a pipe section 10 for the mounting thereofin the ring 2 of the hanger. I

The section 4 is provided with medially disposed perforated lugs 11 forconnection with a shank 12, the latter being preferably in the form ofaspike, which is provided at one end with a point 13 and at its oppositereadily separated from the shank 12 on the removal of the pin, thuspermitting the shank to be readily driven into the wall 2 or removedtherefrom when desired.

The shank 12 is provided with a striking surface or a head 16, wherebythe said shank may be readily driven into the wall 2 or other fixed partin which the same is to be mounted. It should be understood that to bemore readily-applied or fastened to thewall or other fixed support, 7

the ring 3 clamps the pipe so as to support it.

Also, by reason from the shank or stem, it enables the latter \Vhatisclaimed is:

"A hanger, comprising an arcuate Shaped stationary section hailingspaced perforated ears at one end, and an outturned split ear at theopposite end, a swinging arcuate shaped sectionhaving a single ear atone end engaged between the'spaced perforated ears, and a threadedofiset extension at its I opposite end engageable in the split outturnedear, apivot passed through the spaced perforated ears and the single earon the said sections, respectively, for hinging' the same together, aWinged nut engaged with the. threadedextension and Working against saidsplit outturned ear for-adjustably locking the sections together, and aholding element adapted to be driven into a wall and detachablyconnected to the said stationary section and having an offset strikingface projectinglaterally from the point of connection of the saidholding element with the stationary section.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
